71 PREFACE. work on Parliamentary Government in the Colonies has Jfiscussed such matters at full length. In the chapter on the Dominion Parliament I have availed myself of the very valuable work of Mr Bourinot on Parliamentary Procedure in Canada. In the last session of the Canadian Parliament several Acts were passed that modify some of the statements in the iext. By the 51 Vic. c. 11 the Dominion Elections Act has been mended as regards the nomination of candidates, the method of voting, and the definition of corrupt practices; by the 51 Vic. c. 17, the organisation of the Department of Public Printing has been modified; and by the 51 Vie. c. 43 appeals criminal cases to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have been forbidden. The most important change introduced into the constitu- sion has been the formation of a Legislative Assembly for the North West Territories. By chapter 50 of the Revised Statutes of Canada the Council of the North West Terri- bories, as soon as its number reached twenty-one, was to give way to a Legislative Assembly’. The new Assembly is to consist of twenty-two elected members and three legal experts, the former to be elected by such male British subjects, other than unenfranchised Indians, as have been resident in the Territories for twelve months, and in their electoral districts for three months, preceding the election; the latter to be aominated by the Governor-General in Council. The legal experts have the same privileges as elected members, except that they are not allowed to vote: on a jissolution taking place they vacate their offices. The Lieutenant-Governor is authorised to nominate four members of the Assembly to act as an advisory council” on See post, p. 36.
